It’s my first Halloween since moving to the US. It’s not celebrated so much in Australia, so seeing the spooky decorations adorning the houses and shops in San Francisco has been lots of fun.
Halloween has got me thinking about costumes, and I’ve come across some amazing ones online. Especially fun are cosplay costumes, because you get to see your favourite anime or manga characters come to life!
If you also like the anime, Attack on Titan, then you’ll definitely appreciate this very cool (and very real) cosplay by a 63 year old.
アメリカに来てから初めてのハロウィン。オーストラリアでは大きなイベントではないので、サンフランシスコの店やお家に飾ってあるデコレーションが楽しいです。
ハロウィンと言えば衣装。ネットで検索すると、とくに見て面白いのが日本のコスプレ衣装です。
アニメ「進撃の巨人」のこのコスプレ、すごくリアルですね。彼は６３歳だそうです。
Free Cosplay Anime Costumes Sewing Patterns
I came across this Japanese website, Dr Cos, which offers many cosplay costume sewing patterns. They are all free to download! There are tops, pants, gloves, hats and even cosplay for dogs! Here is a great sewing pattern for a maid costume.
The entire website is in Japanese, but with the help of Google translate, I’m sure you’ll be able to navigate around the website.
日本のサイト、でぃあこずでは無料でコスプレ衣装の型紙をダウンロードできます。洋服や小物、わんこ服までそろっています。
Happy Halloween!

You’re very welcome Jessica. Happy costume making!
Hi Rin!
I’m messaging you from England as I have recently got my hands on a beautiful Japanese sewing book by Yuuki Katagai, it’s called ‘lesson book’ have you come across it? I wondered if you could tell me the name of the Japanese script it’s written in as I’m going to attempt to translate some of the essential bits. Thanks for your help x
Hi Alice!
That looks like a great book – I might pick up a copy too next time I’m in Japan.
Not sure what you mean by what type of Japanese script. We use all three: Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji at the same time 🙂
Let me know if you need help!
